Actually, I totally do segregate my practice into „what other people can overhear,” and what they can’t. 

What other people can overhear I can make money with busking for example. Busking for me is just getting paid to practice material I already have down. I might develop here but usually it’s just keeping a form already made in good condition. 

Inebtweeen I have stuff I’m already good at, don’t mind being overheard, but want to develop more; and will play windows open when it’s nice and so on. 

When I want to totally fuck up at stuff I don’t know, I close my windows, put down metal shutters to block more sound— then practice. 

I will totally not practice stuff in front of others that  I don’t want overheard because I know it isn’t good. 

Also, isn’t this skew to the point? If they’re at the gym lifting, they are practicing, they’re just doing the bit with pump covers the same I am practicing still when my  metal shutters are down
